Where each market sat
Every figure in this section is a stored observation, not a recalculation: the daily writer records each game's index level, its breadth and its regime once a day, and this brief reads the most recent stored row for each game, dated on or just before August 24, 2026. Of the seven games we price, seven carry at least 14 stored days and therefore carry an index figure at all. 2 of those 7 sat higher over the seven days to August 24, 2026 and 5 sat lower. Riftbound recorded the largest seven-day move at +1.1%, with 40% of its screened cards higher and 26% lower; One Piece recorded the lowest at -1.4%.
In Disney Lorcana, 120 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Mickey Mouse — Playful Sorcerer (225/204), +39.8% to $4.93, while its largest screened decline was Goofy — Expert Shipwright (Disney Cruise Promo), -38.9% to $197. The game's stored index sat at -0.7% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
Breadth matters more than the headline number. An index can rise because most cards in the game rose, or because a handful of expensive printings did while the rest sat still, and only the breadth columns separate those two cases. That is what the regime label describes — it is a name for the shape of the move, assigned by the thresholds published in our methodology, not a judgement about the market.
| Game | Index 7d | Index 30d | Cards up | Cards down | Regime | Days stored | Observed |

The cross-game view of the same observations, with each game's own timeline, is on the Market Compass.
What moved
Movers are measured between two consecutive daily snapshots, not over the week: the feed stores one Market Price per card per day, and the change below is the difference between the last two stored days. Every card here cleared the same screener the market pages use, so thin listings, presale rows, serialized one-offs and moves beyond ±50% are already excluded.

A large percentage on a low-priced card is a small amount of money, which is why the table prints the screened pool size next to each game: a game with a few hundred eligible cards produces a different kind of top three than one with several thousand. Each card's own page carries its 30-day range and the gap between its lowest ask and Market Price.
In One Piece, 470 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Roronoa Zoro (OP15-113), +44.5% to $3.01, while its largest screened decline was Inazuma, -35.0% to $18.27. The game's stored index sat at -1.4% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as mixed. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
In Riftbound, 197 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Jinx, Rebel, +47.5% to $3.25, while its largest screened decline was Lux, Lady of Luminosity, -38.4% to $45.31. The game's stored index sat at +1.1% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
In Star Wars: Unlimited, 171 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Chopper — War Hero, +47.4% to $25.86, while its largest screened decline was Superlaser Blast, -48.3% to $4.71. The game's stored index sat at -0.1% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
Set value concentration
Concentration asks a different question from price: within one set, how much of the tracked value sits in its five most expensive cards. Across the 305 sets with at least 20 priced cards on August 24, 2026, 98 measured as highly concentrated, 70 as concentrated and 26 as spread out; a further 111 sets carry too few priced cards for the measure to mean anything and are left unmeasured rather than estimated.
18 sets changed chase-concentration verdict between August 18, 2026 and August 24, 2026. A verdict is a band, so a set sitting near a boundary can cross it on a small move; the percentages are printed next to each shift for that reason.
| Set | Game | Verdict | Top-5 share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Deck 01: Heroic Beginnings | Gundam Card Game | Too few priced cards to measure → Highly concentrated | 0.0% → 89.2% |

| Starter Deck 10: Giblet | Dragon Ball Super: Fusion World | Too few priced cards to measure → Highly concentrated | 0.0% → 76.7% |
| Limited Card Pack -Billion Bullet- | Digimon Card Game | Too few priced cards to measure → Highly concentrated | 0.0% → 66.2% |
| Starter Deck 07: Celestial Drive | Gundam Card Game | Too few priced cards to measure → Highly concentrated | 0.0% → 65.1% |
| Limited Card Pack -Final Crest- | Digimon Card Game | Too few priced cards to measure → Highly concentrated | 0.0% → 61.7% |
| Manga Booster 02 Release Event Cards | Dragon Ball Super: Fusion World | Concentrated → Too few priced cards to measure | 46.6% → 0.0% |
| Wish For Shenron | Dragon Ball Super: Fusion World | Concentrated → Highly concentrated | 53.9% → 64.8% |
In Gundam Card Game, 193 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 22, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Unforeseen Incident (Store Tournament Participant Pack 01), +35.6% to $3.23, while its largest screened decline was Zeong (LR++), -30.4% to $609. The game's stored index sat at +0.8% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.

The game's stored index sat at -0.6% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
Cards whose ask has stayed on one side of Market Price
The lowest ask and the Market Price are two different things: the ask is what a seller is asking today, the Market Price is what TCGplayer publishes as the market level. When the two sit on the same side of each other for many days in a row, that is a persistent gap rather than one odd listing. These cards carry a run of at least 7 consecutive stored snapshots.

In Dragon Ball Super: Fusion World, 158 cards cleared the screener between the Aug 22, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots, and its largest screened gain was Frieza — FS04-12 (Ultimate Battle 2024 Vol.1), +41.9% to $14.77, while its largest screened decline was Gamma 2 : SH (Limited Pack 26-27 WAVE1), -25.2% to $4.55. The game's stored index sat at -0.9% over the seven days to Aug 23, 2026, described as stable. Each figure is the change between two stored snapshots of Market Price, so it is a step, not a trend.
What changed on InkSight
What changed on InkSight this week: Fusion World ST01 Story Booster release guide — The confirmed Bandai specification for Story Booster 01, the two sealed SKUs we snapshot daily, and the one measured Fusion World price path we can honestly show.
The other side of the same screener: Star Wars: Unlimited carried the deepest screened decline of any game this week, -48.3% on Superlaser Blast to $4.71 between the Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 snapshots. A decline of that size on one card says nothing about the game's index, which is printed above.
Basis and limits
Everything above is one daily snapshot dated August 24, 2026, on a Market Price basis with Lowest Ask as the fallback, and it will have moved since. There is no sold-listing feed, no auction data and no grading premium in any figure here. Index and breadth figures are stored observations from the days we have; a game we started tracking recently has a shorter history and says so rather than showing a number. Movers cover one snapshot-to-snapshot step, not seven days. Concentration verdicts are bands, so a set can cross one without much happening. This is a description of what our records hold, and nothing in it is a forecast.
Same numbers, other views: Market Compass, Lorcana, One Piece, Riftbound, Star Wars Unlimited, Gundam, Digimon, Fusion World, the release calendar and the concentration data brief.
